Adaptation june 2015

• Countries requiring yellow fever vaccination for entry do so in accordance with the International Health Regulations.

• Yellow fever is currently the only disease for which proof of vaccination may be required for travellers as a condition of entry to a State Party under Annex 7 of the International Health Regulations (2005).

• An important change in May 2014 was the adoption by the World Health Assembly of an updated Annex 7, extending the validity of a certificate of vaccination against yellow fever from 10 years to life.

• Although this requirement will come into force only from July 2016, several countries have started implementing these new rules.

• When available, this information is included in this annex 1(http://www.who.int/ith/2015-ith-annex1.pdf?ua=1)

• This section contains information on yellow fever requirements as provided by countries.

• Country requirements are subject to change at any time. Updates can be found at: http://www.who.int/ith.

Some countries already agree with this statement - amongst the countries with risk of yellow fever : Angola, Cameroon, Congo-Brazzaville (but not the Democratic Republic of Congo), Ghana, Soudan, Ecuador, SurinameParaguay and British Guyana (but not French Guyana).

YELLOW FEVER - AFRICA (03): ZAMBIA CERTIFICATION CHANGE*******************************************************

A ProMED-mail post <http://www.promedmail.org>A program of the International Society for Infectious Diseases http://www.isid.org

Date: Wed 28 Jan 2015 Source: Times of Zambia [edited] <http://www.times.co.zm/?p=49194>

The Tourism Council of Zambia (TCZ) is pleased that South Africa and Botswana have finally agreed to drop yellow fever certification as a requirement for travellers from Zambia, following the World Health Organisation (WHO) declaring Zambia a yellow fever free zone.

TCZ chairperson Felix Mulenga said the decision, which was long-awaited, would significantly increase international tourist arrivals. South Africa is Zambia's leading source market for international arrivals, accounting for around 20.1 per cent of total arrivals in 2013. Health Minister Joseph Kasonde announced on Monday this week that South Africa and Botswana had with immediate effect lifted the requirements of yellow fever certification for travellers from Zambia.

The WHO found from scientific research that Zambia had reduced cases of the yellow fever. Mr Mulenga said in an interview that the removal of the yellow fever certification for travellers from South Africa or through South Africa to Zambia would significantly improve the tourist arrivals from that country. "We are happy that South Africa and Botswana have decided to drop their demands on the yellow fever certification because this was creating a negative impact on the growth of the tourism sector in Zambia. As you know, South Africa is an important market for Zambia and currently is Zambia's leading source market for tourists," Mr Mulenga said.

In 2013, the Southern Africa region recorded total arrivals of more than 22 million, representing a market share of global arrivals of approximately 2.5 per cent and a 39.9 per cent share of Africa's total arrivals. South Africa accounted for 191 048 tourist arrivals in the year under review, followed by Tanzania with 184 187.

Mr Mulenga said the yellow fever issue was an impediment to tourist arrivals as it affected the growth of the sector and that with the newdevelopment Zambia would attract desired levels of tourists and compete favourably in the region and beyond.

[Zambia now has been recognized as yellow fever (YF) free by the WHO.The South Africa requirements for proof of vaccination status has recently led to the sale of fake YF vaccination cards in Zambia and Zimbabwe. The change in South African requirements should end this illegal and unfortunate practice. It is good to see government vaccination status policy brought into line with this change in YF status recognized by WHO. As the facts change, then policies and regulations should change along with them and not be locked into place in perpetuity. It is important to recognize that policies can have negative economic and social consequences. One hopes that Zambia will benefit from the change in yellow fever vaccination requirements in South Africa.

Transit in aeroportIn principle yellow fever vaccination is not required

if the traveler stays in the transit zone of the airport for maximum 12 hours with an entry and exit record of the same day.

Some countries require vaccination certificate for any transit in an endemic country, irrespective of the duration.

The recommendation must also take into consideration that flight itineraries can change unannounced (e.g. stopover in Ethiopia or Senegal).

… on the one hand the situation may now become more simple

– For countries with risk of yellow fever transmission not requiring proof of vaccination: one vaccination is valid for life

– For persons with an actual absolute or relative contra-indication, but formerly vaccinated against yellow fever before becoming immune-depressed, the immunity is supposedly also longstanding possibly for life

… on the other hand the situation may nowbecome temporarily also more complex

– At this moment many countries (with or without risk of YF transmission) still require a renewedproof of vaccination after 10 years– if a person plans to cross the border(or in transit)

from one country with (a real or supposed) risk for YF transmission to another country

she/he will then need an up-to-date Certificate ... she/he may think to be in order “immunologically”, but not “politically” or “legally” or administratively”

– No waiver can be delivered but for proper medicalreasons (absolute or relative contra-indication)

2 Examples of pitfalls & errors

There is a high risk for errors when crossing borders as was illustrated recently in some cases

27/11/2015

…… we heard of an ICID delegate (16th International Congress on Infectious Diseases • Cape Town,SA)

who was rightfully denied boarding by South African Airways

for the Sao Paulo Johannesburg flight

because he didn't have his International certificate of vaccination or

prophylaxis (for yellow fever vaccination) with him

and had just been in Peru for several days.

I hope this is helpful to all, remains a difficult and confusing area to keep updated on.

Bonjour,

Je voudrais vous faire part d'une plainte déposée par un patient à l'encontre de ma collègue du CVI, pour "défaut d'information". Cette situation doit nous rendre sans doute plus vigilant vis à vis de ces obligations administratives, totalement en décalage avec la réalité du risque encouru par nos voyageurs!

Elle voit en consultation en octobre dernier une famille :• père, mère, 3 enfants dont un bébé de 3 mois • pour un départ prévu en décembre pour 4 mois :

Cuba, Pérou, Costa Rica, Guatémala, Mexique, New York.

• Mise à jour du calendrier vaccinal, y compris BCG pour les enfants, hépatite A etc.. conseils palu, dengue, hygiène etc...une longue consultation.

En ce qui concerne la Fièvre Jaune : – elle vaccine les 2 grands, pas le bébé bien sûr, ni la maman qui allaite – pour les parents qui ont été vaccinés en 2002 elle fait réaliser une sérologie, qui

revient bien sûr positive– les 4 partent donc protégés par leur vaccination– pour le bébé elle renforce les conseils de protection anti moustiques – le risque est de toutes façons négligeable, ils ne vont pas aller en zone à risque,

en particulier pas en zone amazonienne

Hélas ! à la frontière entre le Pérou et le Costa Rica ils sont renvoyés au Pérou, doivent se faire vacciner sur place & attendre 12 jours "d'incubation" et repayer 5 billets d'avion pour revenir au Costa Rica.

Bref aujourd'hui : une lettre de plainte, une demande de contact avec l'assurance pour une indemnisation des frais engagés.

Mon analyse est : - Rien à dire sur le plan médical. - Sur le plan administratif : Certes une obligation administrative qui avait dépassé la limite de validité des 10 ans (11 ans à la date du départ...) mais en décalage avec les recommandations de l'OMS .

Il aurait sans doute fallu expliquer plus cette contrainte administrative, et faire un certificat de CI pour la maman

NB. What about the “cholera stamp” in the yellow-fever-booklet (“cholera vaccine not indicated – validity indefinitely”) ? The habit of putting it on the vaccination certificate or travelers to sub-Saharan Africa should be maintained. Never needed for other regions in the world.

Subjects injected YFV and MMR simultaneously had lower seroconversion rates

– 90% for rubella, – 70% for yellow fever– 61% for mumpscompared with those vaccinated 30 days apart – 97% for rubella, – 87% for yellow fever – 71% for mumps.

• Seroconversion rates for measles were higher than 98% in both comparison groups.

Geometric mean titers • for rubella and for yellow fever were approximately three

times higher among those who got the vaccines 30 days apart.

• For measles and mumps antibodies GMTs were similar across groups.

• These conclusions apply to primary vaccination in children less than two years old.

• As primary vaccination against yellow fever in older children and adults, and a booster dose at any age induce stronger immune response, interference from other live virus vaccines should be less pronounced and possibly irrelevant.

CDC 2014 Simultaneous Administration of Other

Vaccines and Drugs• ACIP recommends that yellow fever vaccine be given at the

same time as other live-virus vaccines. • Otherwise, the clinician should wait 30 days between

vaccinations, as the immune response to one live-virus vaccine might be impaired if administered within 30 days of another live-virus vaccine.

• A recent study involving the simultaneous administration of yellow fever and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccines in children found a decrease in the immune response against yellow fever, mumps, and rubella when the vaccines were given on the same day versus 30 days apart.

• Additional studies are needed to confirm these findings, but they suggest that if possible, yellow fever and MMR should be given 30 days apart.

Background: • The use of 2 live attenuated vaccines (LAV) is recommended

to be simultaneous or after an interval of at least four weeks between injections. • The primary objective of this study was to compare the humoral response to yellow fever (YF) and measles

vaccines among children vaccinated against these two diseases, either simultaneously or separated by an interval of 7–28 days.

Subjects and methods: • A prospective, multicenter observational study was conducted among children aged 9–15 months. • The primary endpoint was the occurrence of positive yellow fever antibodies after YF vaccine by estimating

the titers of neutralizing antibodies from venous blood samples. • Children vaccinated against YF 7–28 days after receiving the vaccine against measles (test group) were

compared with children vaccinated the same day against these two diseases (referent group).

Results: Analysis was performed on 284 children. Of them, fifty-four belonged to the test group. • Measles serology was positive in 91.7% of children. • Neutralizing antibodies against YF were detected in

– 90.7% of the test group – 92.9 of the referent group (p =0.6).

• In addition, quantitative analysis of the immune response did not show a lower response to YF vaccination when it took place 1–28 days after measles vaccination.

Discussion: In 1965, Petralli showed a lower response to the smallpox vaccine when injected 4–20 days after measles vaccination. Since then, recommendations are to observe an interval of four weeks between LAV not injected on the same day. Other published studies failed to show a significant difference in the immune response to a LAV injected 1–28 days after another LAV. These results suggest that the usual recommendations for immunization with two LAV (simultaneously or interval of 28 days) may not be correct.

Conclusion: In low income countries, the current policy should be re-evaluated. This re-evaluation should also be applied to travelers to yellow fever endemic countries.

4.Hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients who are >2 years post transplant, not on immunosuppressive drugs, with no evidence of ongoing malignancy, and without graft-versus-host disease.

5.Travelers with autoimmune disease (such as systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, or rheumatoid arthritis) who are not being treated with immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory drugs, although definitive data are lacking.

6.Travelers with multiple sclerosis (MS) who are not on immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory agents and those who are not experiencing an exacerbation of disease. Although the risks of using live-virus vaccines for those with MS have been debated, the National MS Society and CDC recommend following CDC guidelines for vaccination in those who lack prior immunity, who are not on immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory agents, and who are not experiencing an exacerbation of disease.
